The motor lodge did not have a reception on site, no communication prior to check in regarding this. We had to go looking for the reception only to find a sign to go to a different motor lodge down the road and check in there.
We went to check in a few streets away and then returned to the motor lodge. Upon returning we noticed some shifty characters around the area eyeing us off. The place was empty besides us, as we unpacked our backs they were looking at us.
We went into the room to find the door did not lock properly, the bathroom was dirty with mould and had not been cleaned properly.
We saw a cockroach on the sink near the fridge.
Ultimately this place DID NOT FEEL SAFE.
We decided to leave the place and sought alternate accommodation.
Difficult to find as small sign not lit up. I had to go to another motel up the road to collect the key. This info was not provided before arrival.
I had to ring for directions after using Google Maps and then got told to come to the DuPont for key.
Interesting 2 night stay. Walkable to Petone Railway station. Shower has seat (useful). Reasonable tariff. Good parking. Check in novel but workable. Clean.
Outdated, repairs done by an amateur, paint spots on furniture, shower cubicle has missing pieces, lino in bathroom ripped, carpet on shelf falling apart, one smoke detector in drawer and table chipped.
Room poorly maintained and not clean. Inconvenient - had to go to another property 140metres down the road to pick up key. The first time nobody came when I pressed doorbell. Came back later to pick up.

This Motel was clean but lacking in linen.
There were no facecloths, hand towels, dishcloth or teatowel. It was comfortable and adequate.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Old and tired. Needs total renovation. Would have been excellent in it's day. No teatowel or dishcloth. No plug for sink or handbasin. No lightbulb in beddide lamp. Bed comfy.
I didn't like staying here it needs up grading cleaner need to make sure everything is done but no U had to asked for towels rubbish to be emptied been their 7 days bedding wasn't changed at all the best thing was the shower not far to the shops free parking
The beds were clean and comfortable. The shower was hot. Carpet clean and looked new
A few things missing, but perfectly adequate for a short stay and the price was right.
Black marks on shredded old towels, shower cubical requires updating. Stained carpet. Drawers falling apart, mattress collapsed.
No reception, Payment taken out through Expedia immediately prior to arrival and key collection.
We booked for five nights only stayed for one.
Be aware that rooms depicted on Expedia website are enhanced and nothing like reality.
